Your instrument cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your
vehicle is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, about
how much
fuel remains, and many other things you’ll need to know to drive safely and
economically.
The optional digital cluster on your vehicle’s instrument panel
is displayed
electronically and will tell you everything the standard cluster does.
The digital cluster will give readings in either English or Metric. To switch
from English to Metric, just press the
EM button.
